Cheating

I found an interesting article while leafing through the pages of "Games for Windows" magazine (september 2007 issue) it discussed cheating, its classifications and its historical background within the digital gaming medium. It also discusses thereotical justifications for cheating. The article is based on the book "Cheating" by Mia Consalvo. There are some interesting insights into what gamers consider morally acceptable within the realm of "cheating".

The book is here.
